R-Few

Pronounced "Are Few", as in...
There are few people who have the initials RFEW (I'm one of them).
There are also (probably?) few PhDs who like to blast Clipse to get pumped to write academic prose (I'm one of them too).

I want to listen to the newest Spoon or Clipse, or even the edgier new Corinne Bailey Rae. I really do. But my 34+ week pregnant neurological system can't seem to take anything but Beethoven today. Not that there's anything wrong with fur Elise or Moonlight Sonata; they're beautiful. I just cannot tell you the last time I actively sought them out on Rhapsody or iTunes.

It's only $7.99 on iTunes and 100% of the album (and single) sale proceeds go to top funds/orgs benefiting the Haiti relief effort. There are some really stellar, heartfelt performances. My favs include: John Legend's version of "Motherless Chile", Mary J. Blige's version of "Hard Times Come Again No More", Justin Timberlake's rendition of "Hallelujah", and Beyonce's "Halo". 8 bucks to the relief AND you get some honestly great songs? Just go buy it already.

R-FEW: I'm sorry - since being pregnant (yep, a little one coming in March!), I haven't had any time to blog. I saw Fela! when it was off-broadway, though, and really enjoyed it. The music is amazing (Antibalas definitely helps with that), and with Bill T. Jones, you know the movement is cool too. Did you see it?

R-FEW: Cool article! I've already had to shift what I've been playing a bit. The baby kicks a lot with anything overly loud/cacophonous. I worry that the kicks might be in protest, so I generally just switch. :(

ICE CHEWER: It's not protest. It's dancing. Btw, what you just wrote can make a great R-few post.

The band They Might Be Giants forbids the usage of the following phrases. Ha! My own additions are at the end -- repeat offenders I know well will remain nameless ;) (you know who you are, and I do love you anyway...).

*No worries enjoys a unique “workplace dispensation” where it can be used with a co-worker to help decompress a work situation.

Saw In the Heights last Friday night, and I swear I've been singing about these flavored ices ever since. I kind of have a Bubbles-like crush on Eliseo Roman the Piragua Guy. The whole show was fantastic - you have to go see it!
